Bike Rack Recommendation to Fit 2018 Audi Q5 Factory Cross Bars

Updated 06/05/2018 | Published 06/04/2018

Question:

Is there a roof rack for bikes that will use the slot on the 2018 Q5 factory cross bars? I am looking for an upright rack that doesnt require removing the wheel. Prefer not to strap it to the bars to keep the clean look. Thank you

For your 2018 Audi Q5 with factory crossbars we have the Thule ProRide roof bike rack part # TH598004 as a confirmed fit. This rack is designed to fit the channels on top of crossbars as well as wrap around them if needed. Thule hasn't test fit the rack in the channels of your crossbars but most likely they will fit. Worst case scenario you could use the hardware that wraps around the bars.

This rack also allows you to keep the front wheel on the bike as well.
